Under Section 6 of the DPDP Act 2023, consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, given through a clear affirmative action, and as easy to withdraw as it was to give. Bundled, pre-ticked or buried consent is not valid. This checker scores your consent flow against the Section 6 criteria and shows exactly what to fix.
Score your consent flow against Section 6 of the DPDP Act 2023 and find out what to fix.
Section 6 sets a high bar. Consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous, expressed through a clear affirmative action, and limited to the personal data necessary for the stated purpose. Crucially, withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it, and processing must stop once consent is withdrawn.
Common failures include bundling multiple purposes into one checkbox, pre-ticked boxes, consent walls that condition a service on unnecessary data, and withdrawal mechanisms that are hard to find. Fixing these is usually quick and dramatically lowers risk.
